Summary

The change in front of all of us right now may be the most radical humans have ever faced. Who do you want guiding you through it? Courtney Harrison would be an intriguing choice. She's a rare breed of HR leader — one who doesn't just advise organizations on change, but who puts people inside the experience of it and shows them they're capable of far more than they believed. She once strapped corporate leaders into Olympic bobsleds hurtling at 90 miles an hour while gravity made their bodies feel four times as heavy. And then there's the match she and her colleague, Alicia Mandel. arranged between a group of high-flying CEOs and the USA Olympic women's volleyball team — with a dramatic twist that made the CEOs see themselves in a new light. This episode is all about stepping through fear and navigating the change we're seeing right now. Courtney is talking straight to you . . . and everyone else.
